Can ESPs protect you from Gmail penalties?
Myth: False. ESPs cannot protect you from Gmail penalties. Gmail evaluates your sending behavior, not your ESP's. Poor practices cause penalties regardless of platform.
ESPs provide tools and infrastructure. They do not shield senders from consequences of their own behavior. Gmail sees the sender, not the ESP.
Take responsibility for your practices. ESPs facilitate good sending but cannot make bad sending acceptable to Gmail or other providers.
